arctic Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 (edited) hi there :) you say, you are using a router. if you are connected to a router via a ethernet-card, you do not need a static ip most times. usually, routers use dynamic ip's (dhcp). go to your internet-settings (e.g. from networking tool or via text editor (/etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfg-eth0)) and change your ip settings from static to dhcp. restart your network after that. does it work then? if no, please open a terminal, log in as root (type su, then root password) and post the contents of: ifup eth0 ifconfig iptables -nvL good luck. ps: we do not work for money in here. we are not microsoft-like. :P Edited November 18, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biga2710 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 So right now all i can do is ping my own ip successfully so i know the NIC is working according to what ive read in the faq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 you are right, the network cards are there but not assigned ips. please post the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. we will try to fix this manually. ifup eth0 said:determining ip...done this is the thing that worries me... but i believe we will get it running, as the modules are running for your hardware. cya :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga2710 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 here is the contents of that file: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes if we get this to work ill be sooooooooo happy thanks a lot for the help.

Qchem Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I don't know which dhcp clients you have installed (probably either dhclient or dhcpcd) but try running one of those from a shell, eg: dhcpcd eth0 Post the output and we'll take a look at it for you!

arctic Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 here is the contents of that file:DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that one looks okay... so it really could be a result of using a "wrong" dhcp client. but also make sure that you do not have a firewall enabled while we test your box. the firewall could block your data-transfer if it ain't properly set up. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga2710 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 ok i knwo nothing of dhcp client or how to run it or which one to run, im gunna try the dhcpcd eth0, but i know the firewall isnt on i checked that, it said it wasnt active everything can do thru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga2710 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 ok so i went into the console under root user and wrote dhcpcd eth0 and it said bad command file or something like that, where do i type that in, i think this might be the problem cuz i dont know anything about running the client or if its even running or how to run it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga2710 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 (edited) ok guys i ran dhclient eth0 and i got the following: ------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0pl2 Copyright 1995-2001 Internet Software Consortium.

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping ------------------------------------------------------------- any idea guys i really wanna run a linux platform but i cant without inet :unsure: the gateway to my router is 192.168.1.1 also i have the name servers of myisp if i need to put that somewhere ;let me know thanks The reason i think the firewall is off is because when i goto the mandrake control center then secruity there is a firewall part and its set on off but maybe i should go into console and type something to see if everything is really open cuz i dunno maybe there is more options or something console is more reliable it seems like. So how would i check firewall settings just to be sure Edited November 19, 2004 by biga2710 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 hmm... your isp and name server are not the problem here. maybe you could try installing the dhcp3 package from your cds. alternatively try installing resolvconf, pump and dnsmasq (these packages will replace the standard-dhcp package). in the meantime i will do some research why this is not working.
